Hello all. I haven't been here for a while. Haven't had much time for fish lately, but just got done with some renovations on my house. I am able to put my 125g back up and running soon. I have 3 Aequidens Diadema that have been chilling out in a 65g tank for the last few years and they are ready for an upgrade and might add a few more. They started out as a group of six, but lost one early on and two more late night jumpers....Sealed up the holes so no more jumping.

The dominant male has grown quite large and he needs more room. I think one of the other two might be a female, but not 100% sure.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe a Hypselecara Temporalis "Chocolate Cichlid" and/or Heros sp "Rotkeil" would be good to go with the Diadema since they aren't particularly aggressive. Would these be okay? And are there any other suggestions? I would like to stay with SA Cichlids only.
 
Cool. Got the Diadema in the 125 yesterday. They are huddled in the corner right now, but seem happy enough. This group as always been on the skittish side.

Never kept a Chocolate before, and think it will be a good addition. Now just have to get one.
